the hindwing, the cell is longer than in Poritia, the upper discocellular 

 short, very oblique, the lower long. The second forking of the median 

 vein is considerably before the end of the cell. On the underside the 

 ring-markings of Poritia are replaced by simple transverse lines. The 

 apex of the forewing is more pointed, and is usually slightly falcate in 

 both sexes, the upper part of the outer margin being slightly excised. 

 The tuft of the male is inconspicuous in itself, but placed on a conspi- 

 cuous ochreous patch. The hindwing of the female is conspicuously 

 angled. The sexes are exceedingly unlike. The species are all very 

 rare. 



This genua is close to Deramas and Zarona, which it greatly re- 

 sembles, but differs in having one subcostal vein less.
